Are they the bad guy Yea Forums?

feminist literally are bad people

be EA
buy out popular dev studios just so you can milk their fanbase to death having them release completely fucking crap games, and then shut them down
win the Golden Poo Award multiple times
get so bootyblasted at Gaben that you launch Origin, proving Tim Sweeney is a fucking retarded chink fuck since he's doing nothing new with EBIG CAMES
your games are all microtransaction-laced gacha sportsball shit or tranny-infested garbage bioware churns out
actively sabotage your developer studios for god knows what reason so you can shut them down (WHY DOES BIOWARE GET A PASS), probably because you're a shitty evil company
EA executive: "Why do they hate us so?"

They should make a theme park with the companies they killed. Sort of a grave yard people could visit.

Literal paypigs.

They have $4 billion in cash and don't do shit other than making shitty sports games and battlefield. When they do fund something different, they don't even provide oversight and shit like Anthem is made.

Is it really that hard to write a check for $30 million for a new dead space or for some new IP?

>EA out of all companies are playing the victim
Just when I thought they couldn't get any more cynical.

They killed Dead Space, among many others

They're the bad guys

>Is it really that hard to write a check for $30 million for a new dead space or for some new IP?
If you aren't aware, you should look into what happened with Dead Space and how EA ran that and visceral games totally into the ground. Because being a huge success is just never enough.

>buy out popular dev studios
People keep saying this, but they buy because the devs are one of two things:
-Sellouts, who are the real people to blame
-Companies that cant sustain themselves. If this is the case the company already deserve to be dead because their workflow just doesnt work.

The sad part is I remember back in the late 2000s there was a brief moment of time where all the hatred was focused on Activision, and EA genuinely looked like they were improving their ways because they were actually backing cool new games like Dead Space and Mirror's Edge. That faded away pretty quickly though, because they just can't help themselves and their true colors always shine through.

To be fair, I think people have EA pegged the wrong way.
I believe they do actually have an interest in making decent games. For instance I think Star Wars is gonna be good.
I think they also know how to jew the normie audience, and all the power to them. Normies eat that shit up, it's free money.

There was this video by a former EA employee, where he was talking about how they see their customers basically as retards to be milked.
Fuck, does anyone happen to remember what it was called?

And I already know what the replies to this post will be like
>I will ignore the point of your post and I will just call you an EA

Did they try making a good game?

I think it was the leaked investor conference call.
The marketing director basically called sports game fans walking wallets to be exploited with lootboxes

Video game companies in general have been gaining a ton of customer distrust with anyone who doesn't have a pea brain, even your casual gamers know half of the shit these companies are pulling is a load of shit but when it comes down to it people will bite the bullet every time.

Has any single company does as much damage to gaming as EA?

I mean they're responsible for having destroyed some of the best studios the industry has ever known, have and continue to run countless IP's into the ground, treat their customers like absolute shit, treat their devs like absolute shit, I mean fuck they've been responsible for completely destroying the Australian gaming industry a few times now over the last 20 years with their acquisitions and subsequent closures of companies like Pandemic etc

You're just saying that because you ascribe bad things to Jewishness and not to the slime and greed therein.
Consider the following: Companies run by people who are not Jews very frequently do the whole secret manipulation of the media and nepotistic hiring philosophy thing and the "Shut it down!" thing that you would almost definitely label as a Jewish tactic, and they've been doing it for over a century.
It's almost as if the problem is that power corrupts and organizations with too much money and too much power will try to use it to fuck you in the ass regardless of how many of them have a six pointed star tattooed across their nipples.
Jews are an insular religious and ethnic group and many of them are in high places doing shady things, but have you ever considered that, whether it's the chicken or the egg, you can't trust people who are in high places in general because they all do the same shit?

You're the one who never heard of Ultima, absolute retard.

of course not, they just killed several studios and hold all of their ips hostage with zero intentions of ever releasing them again
and hold almost all big sports leagues under contract so nobody can ever really compete with them, not without a lenghty expensive legal battle
which btw is how they took most of those now defunct studios, by throwing them into legal battles, suing them for bullshit reasons and deliberatedly holding on payments for milestones so they have no choice but to either go under or accept the takeover

EA is one of the few I'd say actually are evil. They aren't your run of the mill greedy or lacking in quality. They're the ones who will purposefully try to fuck with people's lives without any care as long as they get a paycheck from that.
The company is built on "proft at any cost". That sort of mentality doesn't go away no matter how many CEO's pass through it.

Dude you're a fucking idiot. EA making billions of dollars globally means nothing for you as an American. In fact, it really means nothing for the 99.9 percent of Americans who aren't shareholders or work for these billion dollar companies. Activision Blizzard saw a record year financially last year. They paid nothing in taxes to this country. In fact, they were giving a massive multi-million dollar refund. Who paid that refund? The American taxpayer did. But I suppose you're an idiot who feels like billion dollar company extracting record monies from those foolish foreigners should be rewarded even more by paying absolutely no taxes in the country they achieved such success and be given even more money to paid for by Americans. That makes so much fucking sense.

Those yearly sports games enable them to be as shit as they want but still make most money than almost every other major studio at a regular basis.

You realize your tax payer money goes towards EA, despite the fact that EA themselves use tax havens to not only avoid paying taxes but they actually get tax refunds. Activision does it too.

in the same way Epic buying the rights to a game franchise and "buying" the first 100,000 sales is evil, the shit epic is doing is the new EA strategy to reduce and reuse the same shit forever, the difference is EA bought the airline and Epic is just buying all the planes

Wanting equality for all genders makes you a bad person? DOH’KAY!

Maybe doing what a company is supposed to do isn’t necessarily “bad”, but I certainly don’t have to like it. Especially when many of those decisions are clearly stupid and involve an easily pierced veil of lies. I’m not irritated because they’re the bad guy, I’m irritated because they suck at being the bad guy.

Not EA. The devs owned by EA. Electronic Arts as a company can forever rot.

Both of those cases are easy for the publisher, EA, to control. There was a story where EA wanted some studio's racing tech so they pretty much fucked the studio with impossible deadlines, refused to pay them, etc, just so that EA could then buy the studio and get that tech.
What the studio did was transfer the rights to that tech to a new dummy company, just to fuck EA over. I think EA was so pissed off that they went to court for it.

ME LIKE GETTING FUCKED IN THE ASS

This is exactly why this country has such a massive inequality bordering on a dystopian shit hole. None of our hugely successful businesses pay anything in taxes, and money is extracted from Americans to pay for tax refunds of these billion dollar companies. A handful of people gain from such retardation and this is how you get a place like San Francisco, home to some of the hugest tech companies in the world also being a city filled with shit on the streets, homeless tent cities everywhere and just the look of a third world shit hole. If the richest companies in the history of the world aren't paying a penny in taxes to this country, then it's no surprise our country has seven figures rich stepping over human shit and passing passed out homeless on sidewalks to get to their coffee shop to pay $12 for a latte.

But they do? What has EA not done bad from a consumer perspective?

WE ARE GOOD GUYS I SWARE, I JUST LIKE KILLING GOOD DEVS AND MILK YOUR PENNIES, IS THAT SO WRONG?

You dont have to white knight for companies on anonymous image boards user.

Yes, yes they are, but so are basically other companies, EA just made hilarious blunders over about two decades or so that added up to utterly and completly eclipse their PR efforts because they shat on so many fans of so many different games and studios, including those of its money cows like The Sims and various SPORTSBALL games, that is not going into horrorstories their codemonkies shared across the years, EA_Spouse or whatever it was called.

Regardless of if you have bad be "Bad at their job" or "morally bad" EA is filled with people of both definition, therefore EA is fulled with "Bad Guys"

As much as i loathe to admit it, from as far as i gotten ToR apparently ended up as a financial success and recouped the budget in the end after they went F2P instead of Subs.

Bioware is soon on the chopping block, isn't it?

Recouping a budget isn't the same as a financial success, investors don't want to simply get their money back 5 years later with no interest. It wasn't a money sink by any measure, but it hasn't been the investment they sold it to their shareholders as.

Oh yeah, by the time Dragon Age 4 releases Bioware won't exist anymore

They've got one last shot at DA4 (despite EA cancelling the DA4 project that was started during Anthem's development), but it doesn't look good. EA's apparently going to double-down on long-term monetization in it because they said they wouldn't do that for Respawn's Star Wars game, so even if BioWare manages to sling together a competent game, it's going to be micropayments and time gates out the yinyang.

>they said they wouldn't do that for Respawn's Star Wars game
As if we hadn't heard this before.

People wouldn't devote so much time on making games if they couldn't get money out of them
Not to mention that the profit insentive would just be at some statesman instead of investors. You can't remove it

Yeah, just saying some people oversell how bad the ToR "damage" really was, the situation has since been salvaged and the game is basically in "Profit" mode, with said salvaging supposedly being one of the drives of microtransactions in their other content, including lootboxes

Whether or not it's actually true, it seems like it's the justification they're using for pushing that stuff hard on DA. That, and the fact that Anthem was too broken to even function as a microtransaction platform.

oh I KNOW I've done shady shit in my day I just give a fuck because either I've gotten away with it or I've made a massive plus doing so.

If they actually think making up a different name for it is going to get them past any "lootbox" legislation, they really aren't in a good way.

Could it be because of all the DLC, Season Passes, Microtransactions, Loot boxes, Online Passes and the constant regurgitation of the same three IPs over and over again?

Whenever the fuck he releases that. The games such a improvement in pretty much every way to the original. Shit like combat is still pretty simplistic, I find just backing up and blocking to regain stamina quicker and only using the attack that breaks a enemies guard is the best thing to do for it and not ever try to fight more then one enemy but it's still a vast improvement over the originals piece of shit combat.

EA has long despised the idea of a game you only have to buy once, and their business decisions reflect that attitude. Now they're staring down the barrel of legislative action in multiple countries - they'll say or do anything if they think it'll let them keep selling gameplay-affecting upgrades for cash.

He confirmed he would make a review, he dropped the review he was currently working on the second he heard Pathologic 2 was out and the second he heard game journeys shit on it. Mandalore's not your usual type of reviewer.

After BF2 Disney is breathing down on their necks, while i don't expect them to completely shy away from mtx it will definitely not be something as aggravating as with other EA games

I think Andrew Wilson has said that Disney wasn't annoyed with the Battlefront 2 issues. This is very much EA's problem, not Disney. The Mouse doesn't give a shit.

>I think Andrew Wilson has said that Disney wasn't annoyed with the Battlefront 2 issues.
Nah, it got bad, there were confirmed reports of EA having to explain the situation to one of the honchos at Disney (not Iger himself though), the fact that they removed it shortly after the shitshow got to Disney is proof that Disney wasn't happy with it

you've never worked on a project like this, that much is obvious.

We don't use the word fun. It took a bit of getting use to on my part and initially I didn't like how the game treats characters getting infected. I'll offer one peice of advice if you want it I found out from a thread about the game. don't use pocket watches and rings for bartering, sell them. It's worth more far more sold for cash then to use for bartering.

Didn't Disney say Kotor is canon now, though?

The lootbox controversy has already surpassed the Star Wars brand. While Battlefront 2 might've been a lynch pin, it's already gone beyond the game itself.
Andrew Wilson having to explain how this works doesn't mean that EA was reprimanded for it. All Wilson had to say was "this makes a lot of fucking money" and Disney will be happy.
They took it out because they saw the shitshow that was about to happen with government looking into it and they had to cover their own asses. EA's ass, not Disney. Do you really think some Disney exec said "for the next game, we don't want DLC or lootboxes in it."
This is just EA trying to recover some sort of positive PR for themselves, despite the fact that we know EA can't help themselves so there will be some sort of DLC or microtransations in it.

Gotcha. To me scavenging for materials and the general bartering aspect just seems fun. Maybe it's just me, then again I enjoyed Anonymous Agony's long two hour fucking "cutscene" and prologue before the game started so I guess I just have weird tastes.

Dj hero was actually decent. It just came around at the wrong time. People were fatigued due to Guitar hero. Activision's problem is that it can't restrain itself when they managed to release a successful IP. They have to run it into the ground. If they've weren't seeking short-term profit those IPs could've been relatively relevant today.

Why you would believe anything WIlson says?

Companies have the power to influence the government. A corrupt government will always chase the money meaning more power to the corporations who are willing to pay, not to the people the government should be looking after.

DJ Hero was good though.

It's worse though EA is already trying to cripple them again, the main demo during E3 didn't even partially show what Respawn is planning they had to post it on a blog to properly present the gameplay.
The reason for that is that EA had to show updates for other games and had to cut the time for Repawns presentation.
I already can see that they will fire major devs and turn Respawn into a skeleton crew that will maintain Apex until the BR trend dies.
Good job Vince you fucking dumbass next time don't side with a publisher that had already fucked you over.

Now this is epic

Spore.

Disney has enough power to keep themselves off the news if they want. Disney couldn't give a rat's ass towards EA as long as their games aren't low-quality nor can they conflict with Disney's official canon. The lootboxes controversy falls entirely on EA's shoulders.
And why should Disney be upset? They're getting their money's worth. Despite sales projections being below what EA expected, like they usually are, Battlefront 2 still made bank and I'm sure still makes bank, since whales make them more money than 90% of the rest of the user base combined. EA still has exclusive contract for Star Wars games. And I wouldn't be surprised that Disney renews EA's contract after the ten years limit has ended.

>And why should Disney be upset? They're getting their money's worth.
Well I'm glad you seem to be about as smart as EA's execs so we can stop having this conversation

Lyndon B Johnson was right

What good is a government if they stand idle while companies decide the rules?
EA is small fry in the big scope of things but corporations holding more powerful than governments is a serious issue.

>For instance I think Star Wars is gonna be good.
Well, you must not think much then.

Disney can't control people getting worked up into hysteria, no matter how powerful they are. The reason they got mad and stuffed their collective corporate dick down EA's throat over Battlefront was because of the "STAR WARS IS GAMBLING" low-quality jpgs that started circling around Facebook and Twitter and got the soccer moms all riled. They really don't want to fuck up their family friendly image, so it's no surprise that when something threatens that, it gets shut down fast.

As for Disney getting its money's worth, that is likely true, but you also have to consider how much they're missing out on by not farming out the SW license on a by-game basis instead. It's one of the most lucrative media franchises on the planet and EA is dragging its feet with actual releases of substance. I'm certain more than one person over at Disney has had the thought.

What rules? What company is stopping you from doing what you want? Do you have an IKEA-brand™ shackle on your ankle chaining you to your bed? An edict that you can only eat Macdonalds and nothing else? Does Wal-Mart tell you when you can go to bed?
I'm legitimately curious. Specifically; what actions can you not perform because of any private company?

Ad hominem, classic.
Where's your proof that Disney was upset? Just because EA had to explain their actions to Disney? Just because the new Star Wars game seems to avoid any controversies with lootboxes? This is EA's trying to recover some trust by saying "no really, we're good guys"
Disney isn't innocent in this. They don't care for quality anymore than EA does. If they hadn't gotten government attention, Disney might as well have said to push harder on lootboxes.

That's not really how Disney seems to roll. Consider all their IP's that they seem to not let anyone touch. Even their superhero stuff through Marvel. Whoever is making that Avengers game is likely in charge of future games as well, at least for the time being. Likely not as long as EA's ten years but I doubt it was just for that one game.

They've always been profit over product/fan base. But, that's capitalism, so you can't really call them the "bad guy" for making money: it's literally the only reason they exist.

Fuck off back to the Stop playing Divinity thread where Marxism is discussed you faggot.

>EVP of rape Jamal Jackson

fuck you I lost my shit

Consider how a small change to Adobe products can potentially fuck entire productions to a grinding halt. Now apply this to any industry that relies heavily on one single company.

Haha, come on guys! E cor-I mean EA isn't so bad.

>Is it really that hard to write a check for $30 million for a new dead space or for some new IP?
Why would they take that risk when their sports games print money through clueless people buying micro transactions?

A hostile takeover can only be done on a publicly traded company, and the small developer studios EA purchases are not public. Studios willingly sell themselves to EA when they’re either greedy or in dire financial straits.

Actions speak louder than words.

>Are we the baddies?
Just when you think they've said the stupiest thing ever, they keep talking.

The hostile takeover angle doesn't apply to private companies but if you're in a contract with EA, they hold the power. Just look at Respawn. They only had a publishing deal with EA but that's enough power for them to fuck any changes Titanfall 2 might've had to succeed, specially when the sales competition that week was an EA game with Battlefield. If EA wanted to buy Respawn, the best thing they could've done was make sure the game bombed in sales so that the only alternative was allowing themselves to be bought by EA.

Isn't EA also kill Plant vs Zombie or something?

>What rules? What company is stopping you from doing what you want?
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't MasterCard reject service to people with "wrong" political views?
What happens when all the companies work together and decided to reject people that don't conform? All the platforms that people have become accustomed to will be pulled out from under them, and they'll find that they'll have a hard time living in modern society.

I think I remember it being called something along the line of "Turning Players into Payers". Might be mistaken though.

Yeah, they got their claws into Popcap a while back.

They killed Westwoood. They are blacklisted permanently. There is literally nothing that they could ever do to get me to give them money. I will never play an EA game.

Source? Never heard about this.

its clickbait

facebook and youtube are absolutely considering blocking payments to wrong thinkers.

Honestly, i'm fucking baffled

EA is fucking bad, but we've reached a point were its not fucking wrong to say it has reached an exaggerated point.

Many other companies do the same shit, or worse, than them but when Ubisoft or Sony or Microsoft or whatever takes a huge dump on the consumers nobody reacts with the cataclysmic rage that they do with EA. So yeah, its fucking unfair, its unfair that only EA gets shat on, many other companies should be shat on as well

of course, don't stop shitting on EA, they still deserve it

Gee i fail to wonder why they consider them the bad guys at tall.

>EA cries as they shut down another studio and puts innocent devs out of work and giving them no warning

>The villain tries to justify their actions

Motherfucker I'm all for second chances, but these guys have fucked over consumers and game developers alike for years. Their as evil as a company could possibly be. You ARE the bad guys.

God damn, I'm actually mad.

nice

jokes aside, its actually problem. Contrary to what people believe, a lot of people are in jail for small crimes that they absolutely regret. its fair that a dumb kid who had a car accident and kills a grandma goes to jail, but its extremely fucking unfair that he is labelled a criminal and a murderer and have no future for the rest of his life because of his mistake, which probably traumatized him.

That and you add in all the people serving time for possession of weed. Personally I find the drug a waste of time and money, but lets not pretend it's worth anything more than a fine for possessing a couple of joints.

That's indefensible and despicable, but hardly
>rejecting service to people with "wrong" political views
It's one isolated incident that might be resolved in court. Not some systematic denial of services to all who don't vote a certain way like the user I was responding to implied.

I won't speak for that, rather not meddle with the law of other countries
in mine having a small amount of any drug is not a crime because the addict is seen as the victim of the drug traffic crime. True is that if a cop catches a kid with weed of fucking course they are going to take it away and tell him to stay away from it.
Honestly, weed, or any drug, is really fucking bad, don't do it, but I agree nobody should go to jail for consuming (but for selling it)

give it fucking time

Actually I don't care, that shit should be common sense to be labelled as completely unacceptable. It doesn't matter at which scale it happens, that it does is a testament of how fucked up the times we are at.

>tfw Maxis
I feel sad every time I see sims 4

>One isolated incident
It's happened to other people, the title even says "the newest victim" implying there has been others.
>resolved in court
If any of the cases were resolved in courts then the rightwingers would be parading about another victory for "Freedom" or whatever. Haven't really seen any rightwings poping off about won cases yet, personally.
>Not some systematic denial of services to all who don't vote a certain way like the user I was responding to implied
You can't just jump into the water full force without dipping your toe in first. You have to give it time and test the waters before you get people to accept something new as normal.

Just because capitalism is good and communism is bad doesn't mean that large corporations are a good thing.

>my only options are to side with Zionists or Islam, one over the other by default

They're not necessarily bad, they just have a horrible business model.
And so do most AAA publisher companies.

EA sets the precedent for malicious business practices and actively sabotaging companies they buy out. I would be genuinely surprised if any of the higher ups have even played a game before

I feel your pain, my man
I'm told that because it is way beyond our control and that it supposedly won't affect us ina noticeable way we are supposed to eventually grow up from giving a shit about it, but its so stupidly hard

fuck me, you are right
and people wonder why I'm not afraid to be called a disgusting weeb by defending japanese game companies over western businesses

I will need a spokesperson from Westwood to both announce their return and a new game, then say EA are good guys.
THEN and ONLY THEN will I agree EA does not infact suck dicks.

Want an alternative system to capitalism that would do good games? make one where people are aware that the value of the money itself is driven by what you can buy, this way people would do their best by the buck so they can make their own money more valuable.

Because your understanding of the region is very limited. Right now the zionists and wahabbi sunni are allies against Shia forces (Iran, hezbollah, Yemen) and secular nationalists (rip Ghadaffi, rip Saddam, attempted rip at Assad). And your elites count on your ignorance to keep up our backwards political alliances in the region.

Okay cool, but either way I should probably pick a side because one of these faggots needs to die off faster instead of fucking with my oil.

both are shit in their own way but the pandemic battlefront are more jank than shit

Fuck off retard. Not only are many devs publicly traded and hostilely taken over by EA, but even the ones that aren't were ones that were trusting enough to enter a publishing deal with EA, only for EA to fuck them and their game over as hard as possible to ensure it tanked so that the company would have no choice but to sell themselves off to EA. See: Respawn

They struggle with the perception because profits are down.

No fucking shit.
